Venado Azul Package #1 – 4 Hours

During this longer tour, we visit the Route of the Cenotes (La Bruja, La Esmeralda, and Cokalitos) and the Pirate Canal where we exfoliate with the wonderful and healthful mud. Then it’s on to the Cenote La Bruja for spectacular swimming along the cenote edge. The lake goes from four feet deep to almost 300 feet in just a few meters; you’ll see tree roots and limbs underwater that are spectacularly colored and interesting. At Bird Island, observe local and migratory birds (wood storks, spoonbills, egrets, herons and others) as they roost in the tree tops or sit on their nests. Morning and late afternoon tours may well see the birds flying in or out. Visit the largest known collection of stromatolites – an ancient bacterial life form considered the oldest living thing on the planet – and spend time learning about the plants and animals at the lake’s edge. We’ll explore the lake, going to the southern-most source of Laguna Bacalar.
